Ravenna Grail has worked all her brutal life to become heir to Silver Coven. She fought for the title. She killed for the title. She deserves it more than anyone. So imagine her absolute fury when her father, the master of Silver Coven, chooses none other than her nemesis, Torin Bloodworth, as his heir. 

 

When Torin is murdered, it is only natural for all eyes to be on Ravenna as the number one suspect. To make Ravenna’s life even worse, her father declares that whoever discovers Torin’s killer by the Winter Solstice will take his place as heir. As alliances form, Ravenna must walk a fine line between keeping her secrets, trusting others, and convincing others to trust her. Because when the past unfolds, Ravenna’s relationship with Torin proves to be much more complex than everyone believes.

 

But the diviners are a ruthless people, and as the investigation develops, a larger conspiracy comes to light. One that could start a civil war among the Chicago covens. With every new discovery and fresh suspect, Ravenna must ultimately decide if becoming heir is worth burning Chicago to the ground.

 

And to someone as selfish as her, the decision isn’t a difficult one.
